CORSET-ADVERTISING FORM.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 587,553, dated August 3, 1897.

- Application filed April 12, 1897. Serial No. 631,690. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DANIEL KOPs, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Corset-Advertising Forms, of which the following is a specification.

Forms for the display of corsets have heretofore been made in two ways-one headless and armless to simply hold the corset and the other with a wax face, head, and hair complete, but with or without arms, and holding and displaying the corset.

My invention relates to an advertising-form for corsets and is anew article of manufacture.

In carrying out my invention I continue the form upward from the shoulders with a neck portion and broaden out thereon a dummy head (of any suitable or desired configuration or shape) with an approximately flat surface, preferably toward the front of the corsetform, adapted to receive a sheet or card havin g advertising matter thereon to be seen with the display of the corset. This flat surface is preferably provided with a frame to receive and hold the sheet of paper or card upon the surface of which the advertising matter is printed. The .dummy head may, if desired, be constructed to contain two rollers and a long printed strip thereon adapted to be unrolled from one roller and rolled up on the other roller, the strip extending through mortises in the dummy head and over the flat surface.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical section; and Fig. 3 is an elevation of the upper part, showing a modified form of my invention.

The corset-form a is preferably made in the usual manner of papier-mach or similar material and is usually provided with a pedestal g for supporting the same in an elevated position. The form (I. is continued upward from the shoulders by a neck portion 12, and it is broadened out above the neck portion to form a dummy head 0, the surface 0' of which toward the front of the form is approximately fiat. In the drawings I have shown this surface c' as square, with the opposite corners set vertically and horizontally, and the dummy head is preferably of the same form. The shape of the dummy head is immaterial, as it may be square, lozenge, round, oval, or fanciful without departing from my invention. It must, however, have the flat surface c t receive the advertising-sheet.

I prefer to employ a metal frame (Z, extending around the edge of the surface 0'' and connected thereto in any desired manner. This frame is like an open center band or cover, beneath the edge of which the edge of the sheet of advertising-paper is received and held against the surface 0''.

The dummy head may be made as shown in Fig. 3, in which two rollers e e, placed horizontally through the said head with the ends protruding, carry a band of paper or other material 5, the respective ends of which are connected to the rollers, and the band passes through mortises in the surface 0 and over said surface and, if desired, within the scope of a frame. (Shown by dot-ted lines.) The band or long strip of material is intended to have upon its surface advertising matter in print and design and may be rolled off one roller upon the other in either direction. The rollers e 6 may be placed either horizontal or vertical, and the strip of advertising material 5 may be operated automatically in any desired manner.

I claim as my invention- 1. As a new article of manufacture a corsetadvertising form with an extension above the shoulders having an approximately flatsurface toward the front of the corset adapted to receive advertising matter, substantially as set forth.

2. As anew article of manufacture,acorsetadvertising form having an extension rising above the shoulders as a neck portion 1) and broadened out above the same to form a dummy head 0, the same having an approxi mately flat surface 0 toward the front of the corset-form and a frame connected thereto for receiving advertising matter, substantially as specified.

3. Asanewarticle of nianufacture,acorsetadvertising form having an extension rising surface substantially as and for the purposes above the shoulders as a neck portion 1) and set forth. broadened out above the same to form a Signed by me this 3d day of April, 1897. dummy head 0 having an approximately flat T 5 surface a and a frame connected thereto, DAL IEL KOPS' rollers placed through said head, a band of \Vitnesses: material Wound upon said rollers and passing GEO.

through mortises in said head and across said HAROLD SEE-BELL.
